Aleksandar Kolarov Height, Weight, Age, Body Statistics

For more than a decade, Aleksandar Kolarov has been delivering brilliant performances as an attacking left back. His great left foot helps him deliver his trademark fizzing low crosses into the heart of the opposition’s penalty box. His ability to hit the dead ball with power and precision makes him a nightmare for the opposition from outside of the penalty box as well. However, with the advancing age, his defensive skills have suffered. But he has a lot of experience, which still helps him get better of the opposing attacker.

Aleksandar Kolarov Facts

Kolarov has established an agricultural company in his native country, Serbia, which is run by his brother.

In January 2004, he left Red Star Belgrade without having made an appearance for the senior team in his 5 years with the club. He joined Čukarički and signed a 3-year contract with the new club.

In February 2006, he moved to OFK Beograd in a controversial contract. He still had a year left on his contract with Čukarički but Beograd signed him as a free agent. The club appealed to Football Association of Serbia (FSS) but their formal complaint was rejected.

SS Lazio bought Kolarov from OFK Beograd in the summer of 2007 in a transfer worth €925,000 as the transfer fee.

He scored his first goal for Lazio in September 2007 which was a long-range rocket from a distance of 38 meters against Reggina.

In March 2009, he cemented his status as a cult hero amongst the Lazio fans as he scored a wonderful solo goal in a match against their hated derby rivals. He received the ball from the goalkeeper and went on to run through the entire length of the pitch to score the goal.

In the 2009 Coppa Italia final against Sampdoria, he scored one of the penalties in the shootout to help his side win the coveted trophy. It was his first trophy with the Italian capital-based club.

In July 2010, Lazio agreed to sell Kolarov to Manchester City for the reported transfer fee of £16 million.

In June 2014, he signed a contract extension with the English club to extend his stay with the club until 2018. It was also revealed that he had changed his jersey number from 13 to 11.

As he had slipped out of the first team, he agreed to move to AS Roma in July 2017 after the Italian club had paid €5m to Manchester City for his services.

He was appointed as Serbian national team’s captain for their 2018 FIFA World Cup campaign. He served as their captain for their all 3 group stage matches.

In June 2018, he scored another stunner from the free kick to give his side 1-0 victory over Costa Rica in Serbia’s first group stage match at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
